A corporate or community team is a group of supporters, coworkers, friends, or family who come together to raise money for Back on My Feet by participating in a 5K. Instead of registering just as individuals, team members combine their efforts under one team name and page, tracking their collective impact toward a shared goal.

How it works:

• Each team sets up a group fundraising page (with a team captain leading the charge) alongside individual pages for each member
• Team members set personal fundraising goals that roll up into the team's total
• Teams can compete for friendly recognition (top fundraising team, most team spirit, etc.) which adds energy and motivation
• On race day, the team runs or walks together, often in matching shirts or gear
  

• Personalize your page. Add a photo and a sentence about why this cause matters to you — personal pages consistently raise more than generic ones.
• Make a specific ask. “Would you donate $25?” outperforms a link with no number attached, because it removes the guesswork for the giver.
• Ask early, then ask again. The people who give in week one are often happy to give again — or share your page — closer to race day.
• Use more than one channel. Someone who ignores an email might respond instantly to a text or a tagged social post — this toolkit gives you all three for a reason.
• Follow up once. If a first message doesn't get a response within a week, a friendly reminder is welcome, not annoying — most people mean to give and simply forget.
• Say thank you fast and specifically. A quick, personal thank-you (naming the amount or the impact) makes a donor far more likely to give again next year.
